One of the best ways to meet like-minded people, to have fun and to broaden your horizons, is to join a football club.

The FA, in partnership with BUCS and Sport England support a University Football Activator at the University of Hertfordshire.

Activators work as football development officers at the University; facilitating football opportunities for active students and intra-mural competitions while supporting BUCS football too.

The University of Hertfordshire offer players opportunities in football and futsal clubs for all abilities.
